Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gastric hydrogen potassium ATPase is also known as H+/K+ ATPase. The gastric hydrogen potassium ATPase or H+/K+ ATPase is the proton pump of the stomach and, as such, is the enzyme primarily responsible for the acidification of the stomach contents. The H+/K+ ATPase is found in parietal cells, which are highly specialised epithelial cells located in the inner cell lining of the stomach called the gastric mucosa.
